"Starting Sept. 5, T-Mobile will offer a new Unlimited Nationwide 4G
data plan that doesn=92t have any data caps or speed limits. T-Mobile=92s
other so-called unlimited data plans do have caps (2/5/10GB), but once
you go past the threshold, your speed is throttled. The new plan,
T-Mobile says, won=92t have such limitations."
And to be "fair and balanced" (TM):
"MetroPCS also joined the unlimited data plan party, but only for a
limited time offer. "
